Pros

Working in the Telecommunications industry and doing what I love to do.

Cons

This is definitely a who you know and not what you know company as far as advancement goes. Upper management is an HR nightmare. Publicly humiliating, degrading employees and vendors. No room for advancement with this company. They have hired the Starbucks girl and advanced her. She was real pretty. They have hired their personal trainer from the gym and advanced them. But advance seasoned veterans and the people that keep the business going and profitable, why would they do that? Put idiots into management and keep the doers underneath you to make you look good. One meeting, I watched the manager through a bottle in someones face. They use foul language make cultural and sexual comments. Don't try to call HR, they are their friend. If only the owner Oscar new. You know the guy that was on undercover boss. Too bad they didn't go where they are needed on these shows to show the real travesty in the work place.

Pros

Not any Pros for this company, per se, but the wireless telecommunications industry is an emerging technology driven industry that will be around for many years. So, if this company survives, and you can survive working for them, you could hope for a long but stress-filled tenure.

Cons

Poor work environment and conditions, extremely poor leadership and management at market level. Many of market level managers are lacking in leadership skills. They were promoted to leadership roles based on personal relationships. Unethical treatment of employees, few opportunities for promotion, little or no training or mentoring, sink or swim and CYA mentality, long hours, and low pay. Promotions awarded based on relationships, not merit, most promotions appointed without posting job and giving employees equal opportunity to be considered. High employee turnover rate, i.e., in 6+ years, I've had 6 market directors.

Pros

Lots of opportunity to hone test and installation skills and learn new microwave backhaul infrastructure that the major and minor service providers are using.

Cons

Very haphazard and last minute scheduling, very high stress environment, and a "toss you in the deep end to sink or swim" training regimen. Deceptive HR interviewing and offer.
